September 30, 1992! :) It's def the follow up episode from 9/29/92 cause you see more of the Ryan/Nina confrontation after she found out he's been married to Victoria while dating her and more of Olivia with her family fighting for her life. This person just uploads the different scenes for each storyline in 1 episode instead of uploading the actual episode in sequence.

I still have some of those clips on my old computer....at least the one from december 1990 (btw I think it's actually 12/18/90 which is the actual date.)

unfortunately it's hard to see stuff on my old computer because the screen is now messed up so if i tried to transfer stuff with a flashdrive I would'nt be able to see it that well. :(

Thanks for the date. So you mean the clips titled "Olivia in the hospital" are not all from the same episode? I thought they were creating episode titles like you and SOS do. From comments I had three different dates which I thought were three different episodes from 1992. That is such a bummer about your computer! Can you anything at all? What if you copied an entire folder on a flash drive and then browsed it on another computer?

After watching that fabulous episode I mentioned earlier, i decided to go back to YRfan's reposts and start from the beginning. Lots of juicy stuff! Since I started in the late 90s this is mostly new to me. I had no idea that Dru wasn't interested in Neil and was trying to get with Nathan. It's also interesting to see just how good Victoria Rowell is. It's obvious why Dru became as popular as she was. The structure of the show is also fantastic. People in retrospect have said that Dru/Neil/Malcolm/Liv were isolated, but I don't think that is true at all. Of course they weren't allowed interracial pairings, but that is not Bill Bell's fault. These characters (plus Mamie, who is wonderfully used) were all over the canvas and didn't feel like after-thoughts. I don't think Tonya Lee Williams gets enough credit for how good she is as well. She is truly one of Y&R's best leading ladies.

I look forward to watching more of this so I can see how it all unfolds! I also must say that Brenda Epperson is the best Ashley. I don't wanna hear it. I like Eileen as Kristen, but besides her stint on B&B, her Ashley has mostly been a bore.

There are about six different Y&R minisodes. The preniere. Katherine and Phillip in the 70s. Snapper saying goodbye to Chuckie. Cole and Victoria. Tricia taking Victoria's place. Christine and Danny marrying. I thought it was just a few! I wish they would add more 70s/80s!

Michael killed but didn't kill Rebecca just like Sheila killed but didn't killed her shrink just like Phyllis killed but didn't kill Sasha. happy.png Ambiguous murder became a favorite tactic for the Bells in the 90s.

Poor Nikki sad.png

Heh loved the scenes of Lauren thinking it was Traci sending her the puzzle pieces.

Interesting to see the beginning of Paul and Christine and the beginning of the end of Danny and Christine. Late appearance of Carol! Does anyone have episodes of Michael's infamous tunnel and living in the closet?

I have the start of the story but unfortunately not the actual episodes that show him attacking Cricket then Paul saving her.....will post those soon! :)

It still amazes me how Michael was able to turn his life around after all this and especially "killing" a woman......I know it took years for Michael to be accepted into regular G.C society but he is just so vicious here. Rebecca was brave to try to stand up to him but of course she didn't stand a chance.....I loved the outdoor woods area they show when the couple finds Rebecca.....very horror film centric.

You know, A missed opportunity I think could have happen is making Carmine turn out to be Rebecca's son. It would def make sense, him coming to town after learning it was Michael who was responsible for her death then what better way then to get back at him buy hurting his family starting with the affair with Lauren.....I think he would still be the right age and Rebecca's motivation for wanting all that money would have been a little more deeper since obviously it was really cause she wanted to support herself with her son that she didn't tell Michael about.

I still wonder what it would be like to see Traci and Sheila interact if they even did? if you watched the 2/1/93 show I posted it still puzzles me how they actually have Ashley talk about Sheila to Traci like she knew her a little better then we thought.....

Carol is on an episode of May 93, I will post soon....I think that was one of her last appearances....too bad they just wrote her off.

It may not have been shown onscreen but IMO there's nothing ambiguous about Michael murdering Rebecca. I think it was better that way, because it was super violent and didn't need to be shown. It also made for a big shock when a body was found by two random characters walking in the park, but they confirmed it was Michael right away instead of making it a "mystery." (Y&R's murder mysteries were never that great, even Bill Bell's IMO). I watched it with my mom as a kid and remember both of us being so shocked. And then Michael's phone call to the hospital shows what a sociopath he is, that he could feign empathy like that while being giddy inside. Such great acting from CLB. If he had been a "name" actor/character by then he wou;d've had his first Emmy.

It's kind of funny that Scott is going on about what kind of psycho would do that, and to think today that psycho is married to Scott's then-wife!

To Y&R's credit I do appreciate the fact that they actually sent him to jail offscreen and had him rebuild his life. He never was punished for Rebecca's death but that's realistic, a lot of crimes go unsolved, and if he had been found he would've probably gotten life and could never have returned to the show.

Heh, I do remember seeing not too long ago Ashley talking about Sheila and it was pretty was weird considering how isolated the story was. Same goes for when Sheila was calling Christine and Danny over for dinner because of the so little interaction.

In a perfect Bell world both Kevin and Adam should have gotten the Michael Baldwin treatment but unfortunately they did not. Even for Michael it took at least seven to eight years before his credibility was finally established, the utterly ridiculous engagement to Christine aside.

BTW BoldRestless, you're not the first I've heard about Bell's mysteries being lackluster. I believe we saw that with the George Rawlins murder, the Who Shot Victor mystery(should have been written differently IMO), and Faren's background.

    • I can't take this show seriously. I truly miss WJB writing this show. Bradley didn't inherit his dad's talent.
    • Maybe if there had been a good close up or two
    • I haven't had a chance to view the interview, but I'm glad Mike didn't get the part of Derek.  Derek is a badly written character. Any Ben Gavin screenshot from yesterday's show?
    • Wait, what? So, Martin’s not running for President anymore? Just like that?  I didn’t expect this storyline to be long term but I would’ve liked to see it play out for a little while longer, or at least until Martin’s secret was revealed. And definitely not fade out with a whimper. Sort of like Naomi’s lawsuit against Bill’s firm; what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up so easily and (probably) forgotten about?  Eva is still the breakout character though. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes from here with everyone, especially if the twist that we’re all suspecting turns out to be true.  And I did find the gambling storyline interesting finally, now that we know Joey’s endgame. I’d like to see it play out and to see what happens to everybody involved in it.  As for Derek/Ashley… I wonder how it would’ve played out if they actually had cast Mike Manning as Derek. Yeah, the writing isn’t there but I imagine that Derek would have more of a personality lol and I also imagine that it would’ve made Ron Carlivati’s head explode

      Ben Gavin did look hot though

    • That would've been a good pick! She was great on B&B and like you said, she's already in Atlanta.

    • Oooo. I like the current actress, but that's a pretty great choice.
    • And you would be correct re: Damian. I've said the same. And Bonus...he had a story with twists. So I for one got annoyed, but cautious when the Dumas twist happened because it immediately felt like the best current story going on on the canvas was about to be hijack. And...looks like I was right.     
    • 1976 continues... Carrie finds the diamond drop in Arlene’s dresser and confronts her with it. Arlene insists she’s done nothing to be ashamed of and storms out. Carrie becomes so overwrought that she collapses. Tom rushes her to the hospital, where her doctors decide they can’t wait even the few days until her scheduled surgery and begin the operation immediately.

Arlene tells Ian she has considered selling the pendant to pay Carrie’s bills but feels she must return it to him. She is so relieved that her mother is finally out of danger, she tells Ray, who is again pressing her for the return of the bail loan, that if he or the hospitals want to put her in jail for bad debts, that’s. fine with her. But Ian solves one of her problems by paying Carrie’s medical bill in full. Arlene is amazed to hear this and assures Carrie that she had no idea he planned to do this. She promises Carrie she’ll tell Ian they consider it a loan and will repay him as soon as they can. Ray, learning about Ian’s actions, accosts Arlene, telling her that if she’s not already sleeping with Ian, she soon. will be, Because men like him always expect to be paid.~ Felicia tries painting at home, but the light is very bad there, and she recalls how well she worked in her studio. With Lynn and Di’s urging, Felicia rents another studio. Ironically, Eddie, realizing that Felicia can’t paint at home, has been looking for a studio for her, and happened to be inspecting this very studio, only to learn that Mrs. Lamont had already rented it. Felicia explains to Di that she is afraid to tell Charles about the studio, as he instantly assumes that when she’s not with him she’s with Eddie. At Di’s suggestion, Felicia arranges a dinner party with the Sterlings, in the hope that telling Charles in the presence of others will allow it to be discussed calmly. But Charles voices his fury anyway, saying that it sounds like a perfect love nest.. The Sterlings point out that he is not being deserted—he has his nurse, and Felicia will always be home to prepare dinner. But Charles isn’t mollified. , Charles decides his suspicions are correct when Eddie delivers a letter from Lisa to Felicia and Charles realizes he knows about the studio. He refuses to believe that Felicia didn’t tell Eddie, and rides her mercilessly. Finally Felicia realizes she can’t stand any more of this mental agony and packs, saying she needs time to think and so does he. Charles immediately calls at Eddie’s for her and is surprised that she’s not there. But his call worries Eddie, who goes to her studio to see if she’s there. He finds her about to drive to Maine, to her Aunt Mavis’s home. Felicia is touched by Eddie’s suggestion that he accompany her for her safety, but assures him she’ll be fine. Charles, meanwhile, has fallen from his wheelchair while reaching for the phone and hit his head. Bruce finds him unconscious with a gash across his head and has him rushed to the hospital, where emergency surgery is performed to relieve the cranial pressure. Charles  survives the surgery but remains in a coma. Felicia arrives at Aunt Mavis’s to find that her aunt has just left for a vacation in Rome. There is a knock at the door, and Felicia is amazed to find Eddie there; he followed her car to assure her safety. She invites him in for something to eat, and since it’s very late, he spends the night in the spare bedroom. Felicia and Eddie spend the next several days walking in the woods and the evenings in front of the fire, developing a deep emotional closeness. Felicia finally tells him of her early father fixation and admits that she’s still a virgin, unable to have a physical relationship with a man. To her relief, he understands and sympathizes, and she agrees to try to make love with him. The attempt fails, and Felicia is embarrassed,but Eddie manages to make her see that sex is only one facet of his love for her, and when they try again later she is delighted to find that she can give herself to him with feeling and happiness. She decides she must return to Rosehill and ask Charles for a divorce. Cal and Rick honeymoon in St. Thomas, the Virgin Islands, but Cal is a bit dismayed when Rick takes time off to discuss business with a restaurant owner. She feels he shouldn’t have any thoughts of business on their honeymoon. Ray Slater tells Meg she stands to lose her investment in Beaver Ridge, since she has frozen Rick’s assets and he owns the controlling interest. So Meg gives Cal and Rick the news, upon their return, that her wedding gift is the dropping of the lawsuit. She then offers to sell her share of the club if Rick will again take over the place. Betsy has made strides toward establishing a life for herself and her daughter by renting an apartment, making arrangements for a mother’s helper, and asking Jamie for her old job back. Jamie assures her it’s available and ‘takes her to dinner. Betsy is annoyed when Meg stops by just as she’s returning home with Jamie, and she tells Meg she won’t stand for her checking up on her. Ben has been having problems ever since his prisonmates discovered he’s in for bigamy. This “pretty boy” offense makes him a susceptible target for advances and sadistic treatment. Duke and Pearson, the chief instigators, are pleased when Ben takes punishment and threats without squealing, but they decide to continue the treatment rather than let up. On the night  they decide to teach Ben what it’s really all about, he fights both of them, but tires and is on the floor under their knife when fire breaks out. Solly, the guard, starts to release the prisoners from their cells but is overcome by smoke. Ben rescues him, then returns to rescue the remaining prisoners, including Duke. Ben is hospitalized for burns and smoke inhalation. He refuses to explain why he and Duke and Pearson were out of their cells before the fire alarm. Betsy has had a premonition of danger, and it’s realized with the news of the fire at the prison. She asksMeg to accompany her and goes directly to the prison. As his wife, Betsy has first rights of visitation, but Meg is so frantic that Betsy lets her go in first. Meg rants on at length about Ben’s folly in not letting her keep him out of prison in the first place, wasting time that Ben wants desperately to spend with Betsy. Meg finally leaves, and Betsy comes in, bringing Ben a picture of their daughter. She tells him of her recent plans. When Ben asks if she’ll visit again, she hesitates, not wanting to make any commitments. The warden tells Ben he’s putting him up for parole, and Solly thanks Ben for saving his life, offering his hope that the parole comes through. Learning of this possibility, Meg asks Bruce to intercede as mayor, and he refuses. She replies she expected that and already offered one of the prison-board members a contribution for a favorable report. Van’s horror at this is echoed by. the warden, who tells Ben that his mother’s attempt to bribe the board could cost him his parole.But the board doesn’t hold this against Ben, and his parole is granted.
